Junior vs. Senior! They be going at it!

Junior, aren't swamps renowned for mosquitoes and other creepy crawlies? Not exactly a livable place for humans. They may be healthier for frogs and beetles and such, but humans?


Hehe, I have to admit that I set up this account with the express intention of trolling Junior. My last account which was unfairly banned (got a little sweary one late evening)had some battles very similar to this one with Junior. However, much to my consternation, I believe Junior went through a quiet period around the start of the year, so with no bait to rise to, I carried on as I had left off.

I'm definitely not trolling this thread. The only poster I troll these days is Seoulio, after AsiaESLBound went quiet.

Why not exactly. Both are swamplands. Both have become intensively settled and are viewed as among the most desirable places to live in the US.

Why do you think 90% of Egyptians live around the nile delta?
Because swamplands are incredibly fertile and productive environments to live in.

What does living in NZ (nice enough though it is) have anything to do with anything that has been mentioned in this thread?


haha. You went on about NZ earlier and how they should be trashing it and building factories to make more money.

yet it turns out to be one of the healthiest places on earth to live precisely because of its clean air, pristine environment and outdoors lifestyle.


yet you prefer the sewer smell and traffic fumes of seoul??

Go swim in the sewage, city boy.

All highly developed (and environmentally degradated) areas, something you hate. The Nile isn't really a swamp either. Some areas, but it is actually a delta and not a swamp in the sense that we have been talking about.

NZ is probably .000008% swamp land. Because our ancestors drained them and made them habitable. Thankfully they kept the lakes, ocean, forests and fjords. A small percent of those remaining areas have billions of dollars of useful resources under them. I believe those areas should be exploited for the good of all New Zealanders. The welfare state doesn't survive on clams and swamps, after all.

Says your tourism website. It's also sliding in terms of standard of living. Especially compared with countries such as Korea. You do know NZ is one of the top ten fattest countries, right?

Go back through the thread and count how many times I have said "you" and how many times you have said that word. I think it's a pretty good proxy for how badly someone is losing a debate.

Now I remember why I wanted to troll you, it's much more fun than actually having a conversation with you (whoops I just said "you". Just giving you a fair chance Laughing ).

I had an inkling of that..because of your chosen handle, and the fact that your statements were so ridiculously stupid.

Flattered to see I have such a fan club though. Laughing

I think a superbug could get us. Air travel spreads it fast.
